RPC endpoint mapper stopped working help plz

K I perused the logs, Spybot is the only thing I can find at the moment that I can associate with those crashes.

ok i have uninstalled spybot as i have a full version of avira premium anti virus. if i get more of these RPC problems can i post back for help please ?

No problem. You can keep to this one thread since it's the same issue. Remember, you don't have to have Spybot uninstalled. Reinstalling may very well resolve the issue just as much (of course if Spybot was originally the problem to begin with).

hiya,

i have been looking abit more into my eventviewer and found that this happened about 1 secs before i got the RPC crash, it must of been when i ended the game swtor. would this be the cause ?

it was in the windows log application, and the source was windows error reporting

any news on this please ?

SWTOR should not really be involved with crashing the RPC service. It will most likely call the RPC service using the necessary APIs, but not even giving it bad parameters in those APIs would it crash the service. Only when the service itself attempts to do something with unexpected results would it terminate itself. In this case, the errors I see from the RPC service is c0000005 errors, which are attempts to access invalid memory. Plus, SWTOR is only shows up for like one or a couple of those crashes. I see them occurring a number of times in the syslog.

While I can't see SWTOR doing this, I could see Spybot being involved. Spybot utilizes drivers to perform a number of its activities, and if any of those drivers happens to get in the way of or send the RPC service some bad data, the RPC will crash (as opposed to a user mode application like SWTOR, in which RPC service will just respond to the bad request saying it was erroneous).

The SWTOR error also does not appear to be involved. It's a different error, a RADAR_PRE_LEAK_WOW64 one. I'm not particularly familiar with this kind of error, but from the name it involves WOW64 (32-bit compatibility environment for 64-bit Windows), and looks like its saying SWTOR attempted to perform something that would've caused a leak (most likely some form of memory leak). Googling this I've found it relates to other 32-bit games ran in 64-bit Windows as well. There is no involvement with the RPC service from these other scenarios.

ok thank you, i haven`t had anymore rpc crashes. i uninstalled spybot, i might reinstall it at a later date. as far as swtor goes i haven`t had any probelms with it so i will just stop looking in eventviewer for now untill something happens again. if i keep looking i could be going on for ever with the errors and warnings that pop up lol.

thanks for your help i will see how it goes :)

Glad to hear of it. If ever you feel confident things are looking snazzy, you should go ahead and mark this thread as solved for future reference for others. Thanks!
